Python by Example

Course details

Python By Example will help you learn the Python programming language from the ground up. We will be using Python 3 in this course. It is currently split into four parts. In part one, you will learn how the basic building blocks of Python, such as strings, lists, dictionaries and tuples. You will also learn how to handle exceptions, create list comprehensions, make functions, classes, etc. 

In part two, we take an abbreviated tour of the Python Standard Library. This set of screencasts cover handpicked modules from the library that I have found useful in my every day programming life.

For part three, we move into intermediate level material such as lambdas, decorators, debugging, profiling and testing.

Finally in part four we jump into 3rd party modules and packages. In this section, you will learn how to install these modules from the Python Package Index (PyPI) as well as how to use some of these modules. For example, you will learn how to use SQLAlchemy, virtualenv and pylint among others.

I hope this has piqued your interest. I am looking forward to helping you learn Python too!
